"vegetative dysfunction accompanied by neurasthenic symptoms" Sounds like a rather severe reaction to RF. see end of post. More SAR data at www2.arnes.si and domode.com If you have a few spare hours and like this kind of reading snip In most guidelines for human exposure to RFR, the maximum permissible exposures (MPEs) are stated in terms of the maximum allowable incident power densities, expressed in milliwatts per square centimeter (mW/cm²) or in watts per square meter (W/m², with 1 W/m² = 0.1 mW/cm²). Such MPEs are selected on the basis of the highest values of "specific absorption rate" (SAR) that were found not to be harmful to animals in experimental studies. SAR is defined as the rate at which RFR energy is absorbed in any small volume of a body, and is usually expressed in watts per kilogram (W/kg) of the mass in that volume (or sometimes in milliwatts per gram, with 1 mW/g = 1 W/kg). For any specific value of incident power density, the SAR thus defined varies with location within the body, so it is frequently called the "local SAR". Internal variations of SAR are difficult to determine for most complex bodies, so the term "whole-body SAR" is often used to represent the spatially averaged value of SAR for the body, a quantity that can be measured (e.g., by calorimetry) without a need to know the spatial variations of local SAR. The term "partial-body" or "part-body" SAR is used in appropriate cases, such as when absorption of RFR occurs primarily in a specific region of the body due to exposure from a nearby emitter (a hand-held transmitter for example). snip ----- Kalyada et al. (1974) reviewed the results of prior studies (mostly their own), in which they clinically examined a group of specialists (number not given) under 40 years old in the USSR exposed to "non-thermal intensity within the range 40-200 MHz" by working with RFR generators for 1 to 9 years. The authors found no organic lesions, but noted the frequent occurrence of functional changes in the central nervous system (52%), the principal form of which was described as "vegetative dysfunction accompanied by neurasthenic symptoms". They remarked that the relationship between the frequency of neurodynamic disturbances and duration of work was clear-cut. snip try this link. brooks.af.mil
